Source Audio Introduces Hot Hand 3 Wireless Effects Controller and Enter To Win Video Contest
Thu, 6 Sep 2012
The award winning motion-sensing technology that marked an evolution in effects pedal design is getting a serious upgrade. The new model expands significantly on the breakthrough technology of the original Hot Hand, broadening its compatibility to include non-Source Audio pedals and adding another axis of control.
Hot Hand 3's receiver base station features a standard 1/4" Expression output compatible with such pedal brands as Boss, Electro-Harmonix, Line 6, Pigtronix, Eventide, and many, many more. Here is a link to the product's demo video:
"We were upgrading the wireless Hot Hand system to add a number of features and functions while keeping it simple to use and improving the robustness of the mechanical design.," says Jesse Remignanti, Vice President of Engineering at Source Audio. "We had many requests from customers over the years looking for a simple way to use the Hot Hand with third-party effects. The Hot Hand 3 answers that request allowing for seamless connection to a wide variety of processors and pedals from other manufacturers in addition to all of our Soundblox and Hot Hand effects."
A 3-axis accelerometer translates motion into a dynamic and precise expression signal, which can be applied to a range of effect parameters, including filter sweeps, drive levels, modulation, and wet/dry mixes. The lightweight and wireless ring is capable of transmitting over 100 feet and fits comfortably on the hand, foot, or instrument headstock.
The Hot Hand user-base has grown significantly over the past year following the viral success of bassist Nathan Navarro and his band, Pinn Panelle. Their video, a cover of Skrillex, aligned the Hot Hand and Source Audio effects with the ubiquitous 'bass wobble' heard commonly in electronica and dubstep. When asked what inspired him to incorporate the Hot Hand into his toolkit, Navarro says, "The Hot Hand 3 takes contemporary instrumentalists to the next level of expression and control in real-time sound design."
In celebration of the new Hot Hand and its expanded following, Source Audio has partnered with
Bass Player
Guitar Player
magazines to seek out the best new musicians using the Hot Hand today. The editors of each magazine along with Nathan Navarro and the Source Audio team will comprise a judging panel that will award the highest quality submitters with prizes including $1,000 cash, gear and the invitation to appear on a release from
Guitar Player
Records. The Hot Hand Video Contest begins on September 1st. Entry details and instructions can be found at:
MSRP for the Hot Hand 3 Universal Wireless Effects Controller is $209 U.S. (street: $149).
It is available now. For more info and a list of authorized dealers, visit

Video: ASAP Rocky 'Purple Kisses'
In ASAP Rocky's latest video for "Purple Kisses," London is the backdrop though you'd never know because the theme is high-on-everything, body-on-body, groupie luuuuv with the Buddy Holly sample "It's So Easy To Fall In Love," on heavy slow-mo repeat. Listen for name checks on Yves Saint Laurent and Isabel Marant, and be sure and check out the very awesome nail art by WAH Nails (image above). The song is directed by the pretty one himself and the version accompanying the video was produced by Very Rare. It will be part of the ASAP Mob mixtape, Lord$ Never Worry, available on August 28th.

Banoka Bush Camp
Named after the Banoka people or river Bushmen, who first settled in the Okavango Delta, Banoka Bush Camp is one of Botswana's newer safari camps, having opened in late 2010. Situated in a former hunting concession and overlooking a lagoon connected to the Khwai River, Banoka lies in the Khwai Community Concession, close to the northern border of Moremi Game Reserve.
Our view of Banoka Bush Camp
Following our first visit to Banoka Bush Camp in March 2011, and subsequent return in November 2011, we came away with mixed views. The accommodation and main area are of a very high standard with a fantastic swimming pool area and an expansive, open space in front. The food was very nice, the staff friendly, the guiding good and the management always attentive. It's also good value, compared with what you'll often have to pay for a similar-standard camp in the Moremi / Okavango Delta area.
However, the lack of game around camp, and the need to drive far to find it, is the camp's main drawback. We do have reports of animals in the area – for example wild dogs were seen passing through in late May 2011 – but even so we think that game densities have some way to go before sightings will be consistently good. Travellers should be aware that Banoka is sometimes used for groups touring through Botswana, which might not appeal to individual travellers.
Banoka Bush Camp is situated on the banks of a seasonal lagoon

|Bill Scholl Bio
Courtesy: Ball State Athletics
Release: 04/30/2012
Bill Scholl was named Ball State's director of intercollegiate athletics effective April 30, 2012.
Scholl comes to Ball State with more than two decades of athletics administration experience at Notre Dame. As deputy athletic director for the last three years at UND, he has been responsible for supervision of sports such as football, men's basketball, baseball and men's soccer. He has been responsible for senior-level administration such as fundraising and donor relations, divisional budget construction and growing external revenue for the Irish.
Major Accomplishments at Notre Dame:
* Led an $84 million athletics fundraising initiative for the Spirit of Notre Dame campaign.
Scholl was promoted to senior associate athletics director at Notre Dame in October 2004. Prior to that, he spent three years as an associate athletic director and the executive director of the Monogram Club. Scholl served seven years as an assistant athletic director for marketing, overseeing the Notre Dame marketing and promotions programs. As the promotions manager at Notre Dame, he greatly expanded the horizons of Notre Dame's Olympic sports profile. Scholl was responsible for developing and implementing marketing and promotions plans for all athletic events. His activities included coordinating special events, giveaways, clinics, group nights and other general functions that broadened the community's awareness of Notre Dame's Olympic sports.
The former director of financial development for the 1987 International Summer Special Olympic Games, Scholl served in the same position for one year at South Bend's Logan Center which offers services to persons with developmental disabilities. He also spent five years with the Juhl Advertising Agency in Mishawaka, Ind. While working for Special Olympics, the Lakewood, Ohio, native was responsible for raising a $4.8 million budget from national and local corporations, foundations, governments, special events and the general public. Through his efforts, the final amount raised for the '87 Games was in excess of $8 million. In June 2000, the Notre Dame Monogram Club awarded him an honorary monogram.
Born Sept. 2, 1957, Scholl is a 1979 Notre Dame graduate. He and his wife, Julie, have three children: Michael (a 2009 Notre Dame graduate), Stefanie (a 2012 Ball State graduate) and Kelly (a sophomore at Notre Dame).
Education: Bachelor's Degree - Notre Dame '79

The Arizona Cancer Center's Phase I Clinical Trials Program is the only place in Southern Arizona where patients can get access to cutting-edge investigational treatments.
"The future is here," said Daruka Mahadevan, MD, PhD, director of the Phase I Clinical Trials Program and Drug Development and Translational Research at the Arizona Cancer Center. "The existing drugs are useful, but we can do better with new drugs to keep our patients alive."
The Phase I program tests new targeted therapies for the first time in small groups of patients to evaluate safety, determine safe dosages and identify side effects. Targeted therapies are drugs that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with molecules involved in tumor growth and progression. By targeting cancer-specific changes in the body, targeted therapies may be more effective against cancer and less harmful to healthy cells than traditional treatments.
It's clear that the newer targeted therapies work, because people participating in the Phase I studies are often living longer, said Dr. Mahadevan. He frequently treats patients with tumors that would have been considered difficult to control in the past, but now have a positive clinical response and benefit.
"These people have failed two or more front-line therapies and they're expected to die in two or three months, but they're living a year or more," he said. "We are actually increasing their survival, even in a Phase I trial."
Another benefit of the new drugs is that they lack the limitations and side effects of some traditional treatments.
"Patients on Phase I trials of targeted therapies can continue to take the drug as long as there is a clinical benefit," Dr. Mahadevan said. "With chemotherapy you cannot do that. Chemotherapy can only be given for a certain amount of time and then you stop because the body can't handle it. You're done. With these new kinds of treatment, that's not the case. The body can handle it because they are targeted therapies."
Additionally, patients who no longer show a response on one Phase I trial, can go on to another.
"Often times they go from one study to another study," said Ruth Cañamar, the Phase I Clinical Trials Program manager. "Our patients can participate in several trials. That's the benefit of coming to a cancer center such as ours; you're seeing the leading experts in cancer care and you have access to treatments you can't get anywhere else."
Because the new investigational drugs are proving to be more effective while at the same time reducing the harmful and uncomfortable side effects often associated with standard treatments, Dr. Mahadevan recommends more patients consider Phase I studies earlier in their cancer treatment.
"Phase I is a bridge to better therapies," he said. "Patients should come here before it gets to the last-ditch effort. It's futile to go down third-line and fourth-line standard of care drugs when there are actually new drugs that are less toxic and that may be more beneficial. They could get these new drugs and always go back to third-line, fourth-line drugs, but once they've exhausted all the standard of care options, they're often not fit enough to go on a Phase I trial."
Rigoberto Ruiz could be the poster child for Phase I clinical trials. In February 2002, he had his first surgery for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, a rare cancer affecting the digestive tract and nearby abdominal structures, and he has been in six Phase I studies since. For years, he has driven from Sierra Vista every two weeks for treatment at the Arizona Cancer Center.
"He was dying," Dr. Mahadevan said. "It was eating him alive. Now when you look at him, he looks good."
Ruiz's tumor has regressed significantly since he began treatment in his current Phase I trial. The study drug he's taking now causes no side effects and leaves him with plenty of energy to take walks with his two 2-year-old grandchildren every day.
"This medicine helps a lot," said Ruiz, who has been very pleased with the medical attention he has received and recommends Phase I trials to other patients.
"I tell them to do it," he said. "Everybody needs to take every chance to live."
The Arizona Cancer Center is working with regional doctors to increase referrals to the Phase I program.
"Community physicians can use this opportunity to get the best care for their patients," Cañamar said. "Their patients will go back to them, but if they're treated here, they're going to get an expert opinion and treatment with drugs they can't get anywhere else. This is the place to go. Our physicians are the leaders in their fields."
All clinical trial candidates are given extensive information about the study and its potential benefits and risks before enrolling, but Dr. Mahadevan said those who really understand what Phase I trials are about are almost always interested in taking part.
"If physicians talk to their patients openly about the biology and complexity that we're dealing with, in that setting patients are very keen to go into studies," he said.
Since the program began three years ago, the Arizona Cancer Center has treated 115 patients in 15 industry-sponsored Phase I clinical trials.
"We have conducted a number of first-in-human studies where we were the first on the planet to give the treatment to a patient," Dr. Mahadevan said.
Thus far, all Phase I trials at the Arizona Cancer Center have been outpatient only, though soon the program will be able to run inpatient trials as well. University Medical Center, the Cancer Center's clinical partner in Tucson, is opening a new inpatient oncology wing that will be able to meet the needs of Phase I inpatient studies.
"There are some Phase I studies that have an inpatient component," Dr. Mahadevan said. "Now if we need it, we have access to that service. It's part of the expansion."
With its current staffing and funding levels, the Phase I program can run up to 10 trials concurrently, but Dr. Mahadevan would like to increase that number – a goal that is purely patient-focused. Having more physician researchers and research nurses on staff would allow the Arizona Cancer Center to offer more Phase I trials of promising new drugs to more patients from across the state and the nation.
"Our top priority," he said, "is to serve patients with the best possible drugs."

'Tuesdays Gone' is mine too. I'm from the UK and used to see Skynyrd a lot back in the 70s when I too used to work for the MCA. I later saw the Rossington Allen Band in Hashville Tenn and all the memories of those UK gigs (not least the Kursal in Southend) flooded back and those memories now 30 plus years on, remain. Hope I may catch you in Hammersmith Odeon in March. Who knows! Peace be with you all.

Eating Out: Anticipation builds for Tupelo Honey Café
I was excited in late July to learn that Tupelo Honey Café, a fixture in downtown Asheville since 2000, plans to open a new restaurant in Johnson City in the historic train depot.
The restaurant's owner, Steve Frabitore, made the official announcement July 31. The target date for opening the new downtown Johnson City venue is fall 2013. Tupelo Honey Café has certainly impressed many other people, too, because there has been plenty of buzz about the restaurant opening next year.
Tupelo Honey opened its second Asheville location in March 2010 in south Buncombe County at 1829 Hendersonville Road. A location will also open this fall at historic Market Square in Knoxville. Until next year, however, fans of the restaurant will need to travel over the mountains into Asheville to enjoy the food at Tupelo Honey Café. I traveled on Interstate 26 on a recent weekend to meet some friends for a meal on a recent Sunday afternoon. I had enjoyed my first visit last year, and had been eager to return ever since.
Tupelo Honey Café on Henderson Road is the most recently opened of two locations for this Asheville-based eatery. This location opened its doors Feb. 2, 2010. Like the original Tupelo Honey Café in downtown Asheville, this location is also known for offering the same fresh, organic, hormone- and pesticide-free, locally produced food made from scratch.
The sponge-painted golden-ochre walls establish a warm feel that welcomes patrons. Repurposed window panes serve as hanging dividers in the dining area. Displays of eclectic examples of art by local artists and artisans help bring splashes of color to the dining area. Ceiling fans hang over the semi-private benches and tables. Patrons can also enjoy their meal in the large covered outdoor dining area, and the restaurant also offers a full bar with daily drink specials.
The eatery's menu proclaims its trademarked motto, "New South Flavors, Scratch-made Fun," across the front cover. Indeed, the items on the menu provide some highly creative twists on traditional Southern favorites such as country ham, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes and barbecue pork.
My dining party and I arrived mid-afternoon and did not have to wait long for a table. Once we were seated, the server arrived to take our drink orders and provide menus. All the wait staff wore black T-shirts emblazoned with the THC logo.
Service, at least at the start of the visit, proved somewhat erratic. One of the most disappointing notifications from our server, Jenni, was that the restaurant was out of its famous Jamie's Rosemary Peach Lemonade. I was instantly hooked when I sampled a glass of this tart, refreshing lemonade to enjoy during my first visit. The infusion of rosemary with the citrusy lemon sweetened with peach made for one highly addictive and refreshing beverage.
In addition to wine, beer and cocktails from the bar, diners can quench a thirst with everything from a variety of fruit juices to Sprecher Root Beer. The eatery also offers Raspberry and Peach Iced Tea and regular Iced Tea in addition to herbal teas and organic whole-leaf teas.
When our server returned with our drinks, she also brought a basket of fluffy, freshly baked biscuits with a tasty blueberry spread, which we enjoyed as we opened our menus.
We agreed to start the meal by selecting some appetizers to share. Menu options included Fried Green Tomatoes served over Goat Cheese Grits, Appalachian Egg Rolls, Homemade Pimiento Cheese and Tortilla Chips, Chef's Black Bean Cakes, Tupelo Wings brushed with Honey Chipotle Sauce, Tupelo Tofu Wings and Tupelo's Encore Cheesy Grit Cakes.
A friend and I decided to share an order of the Homemade Pimiento Cheese, which was served as a warm dip for the toasted tortilla chips. The bowl of dip was served on a bed of greens garnished with two whole Jalapeno peppers.
Two other members of the dining party ordered Appalachian Egg Rolls — pulled pork barbecue in smoked jalapeno barbecue sauce rolled with braised greens, pickled onions and shredded carrots — served with Dijon dipping sauce and garnished with jicama slaw. These, too, proved a hit.
Another of my dining companions ordered the ToMAYto, ToMAHto Soup, which can be served warm or chilled. For a still quite warm Sunday afternoon, he chose to have the soup served chilled and reported that it was one of the best soups he has ever tasted.
Choosing an entree came next. Choices extended to sandwiches, entree salads and a variety of main course options. In addition, the eatery offers its breakfast menu throughout the day.
I considered such main courses as the Root Beer Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin, Not Your Mama's Meatloaf and Brian's Shrimp and Grits before I decided to order the Chorizo-Crusted Colossal Sea Scallops with Basil Cream Sauce.
Other members of my dining party chose the Southern Fried Chicken Saltimboca with Country Ham and Mushroom Marsala Sauce, the Venerated Veggie Bowl and the Petite Tender Medallions of Beef topped with Gorgonzola Butter and Bordelaise Sauce.
If the main courses are a little more than you want for a lunch, the menu also offers some appealing sandwiches and burgers, including the Southern Fried Chicken BLT, Roast Beef Po' Boy and the Sheer Bliss Tupelo Burger.
From the first bite, I loved the succulent scallops in my dish. The chorizo-coated, plump sea scallop were served in a medley of roasted red peppers and caramelized onions in a white wine and basil cream sauce. The dish was topped with asparagus spears and garnished with an orchid blossom. This is one of the more costly entrees featured on the menu, but I found it worth every penny.
I sampled a few bites of other main courses, including the Petite Tender Medallions of Beef. These succulent sliced shoulder tenders were topped with gorgonzola butter and a rich bordelaise sauce. The beef is served medium rare with cheesy smashed cauliflower and is also garnished with asparagus spears:
All the dishes were presented with an attractive flair and visually appealing plating.
After such memorable and hearty main courses, I still saved some room for a dessert.
The options listed on the menu include Brown Butter Pecan Pie with Vanilla Bean and Caramel Sauce, Naked Chocolate Cake A La Mode, Banana Pudding, Blueberry Hill Thrill Cream Cheese Pie and Old Fashioned Soda Parlor Float with your choice of Nehi Orange, Nehi Grape, Cheerwine or Sprecher Root Beer served in a pint glass with vanilla ice cream.
A friend and I chose to share a slice of the Blueberry Hill Thrill Cream Cheese Pie while another chose the Old Fashioned Soda Parlor Float with Nehi Orange Soda.
My friend and I enjoyed the lush pie, which featured the restaurant's scratch-made blueberry and cream cheese pie, infused with a delectable hint of lemon, and garnished with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf.
Since we visited on Labor Day weekend, the restaurant appeared to have been hit hard by the holiday lunch rush, which may explain that at times we had to wait a while for certain parts of the meal to arrive. Otherwise, the experience pleased all the members of my dining party.
Precise attention is obviously given each dish to ensure a maximum flavor impact, and the use of the best in fresh and regionally produced ingredients definitely make Tupelo Honey Café a must-try dining destination.
The two people who were making their first visit to Tupelo Honey Café hailed from Nashville. They're now quite jealous that Johnson City will be getting its own Tupelo Honey Café. So, if the eatery decides to expand westward to Nashville, they already have two confirmed fans in the state's capitol.
I don't mind the trip over the mountains to enjoy a delightful meal at this restaurant, but I do look forward to next year when dining at Tupelo Honey Café will become a lot more convenient. If you visit in the meantime, let them know they were highly recommended.
AT A GLANCE: 1829 Hendersonville Road, Asheville, N.C. (828) 505-7676. Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Entrees range from $6.95-$22.95. Credit cards accepted. Carryout available. Full service bar available.

Great food, bad service – We ate here last week, heard if was good from a friend. It was about half full when we sat down at the sushi bar, we figured it would be a mellow dinner, as it was Tuesday at 7PM. The sushi chef seemed a bit overwhelmed already, and we ended up ordering from the waitress, even though we wanted sushi and were at the sushi bar, the chef did not seem interested at all in taking orders or answering questions (pretty curt to my one question, so I figured I'd leave him alone). A couple more people came in, then he started yelling at people as they walked in the front door that they couldn't eat, even though there were empty tables. It was soo rude! Ended up they had a reservation, and the waitress sat them. The chef was in a complete tizzy, and we waited over half an hour for our sushi. The chef yelled at the waitresses a couple more times not to seat anyone without a reservation. That is one thing in a back kitchen, but this was over our heads and into the seating area! Everyone was a bit taken back at his public behavior. He got visibly exasperated and angry when he couldn't find things, even threw an empty sauce container accross the prep area! The food was fantastic, and we would have loved to order more, but didn't want to wait all night, and witness rude chef. Too bad, I hope he isn't permanent!
marginal fish quality – I have been there three times and when I got food-borne illnesses I decided never to stop by again.
The sushi chef yelled at me when I asked him where my food was, even though I had waited for over one hour. I tried to speak japanese with him but he is clearly not japanese, and his english is poor so I think he didn't understand what our wishes.
Best Sushi Ever – Amazing, fantastic, fabulous....the food and the decor are great, Eddy and Yukio are fantastic, they really know their fish. It is always very fresh and melts in your mouth. Presentation is impeccable. I agree with the other reviews, service is not always what it should be, try the bar but do not let that stop you from eating there. The staff is always friendly just a lack of attention to details. I love Kiji, one of my favorite restaurant in town!
best sushi hands down! stylish decor. – This place has the best sushi I've found anywhere.Whereas other places serve pre-packaged and frozen stuff, this place makes many of their items in-house such as the home-made sea eel which has a melt in your mouth buttery flavor, and the house cured mackeral which was smooth and flavorful with a tinge of brininess which I haven's seen duplicated elsewhere, and the rolled omelet or tamago which many chefs are judged upon. Their fish quality is always superb and dishes are executed with skill and style. This is a new restaurant. Their service can be disorganized and kitchen items can be over cooked but judging by the quality of their sushi, the hip yet unpretentious decor, and the music bossatronica, this place show great promise!
excellent food, elegant atmosphere – After living in Japan for 3 years and trying most of the sushi eateries in kyoto area, I must say that this place comes most close to the taste I've had in Japan. The sushi rice is seasoned and textured as found in Japan and crafted by true sushi chefs unlike most other hip joints in the city. The decor is crisp and elegant as well as the music-electronica, and quality of food matches very well. The service was attentive and fast the 3 times I've been there. All and all, if you're looking for authentic sushi served in hip neighborly atmosphere, and at reasonable prices, I highly recommend this restaurant.
AVOID THIS PLACE – This place has the worst service I've ever experienced. The waitstaff completely advoided us despite numerous attempts to get their attention. Food was ok but nothing special and the prices are high for the quality and quanity.
Great food, atomosphere and service!! – I highly recommend this restrant! I've been to this place three times with different friend eah time and every single time we had excellent food and service! All my friends are very pleased and excited that they found this place! I am from Japan and ever since I moved to US, I stop eating sushi because I have came accross with really bad quality. BUT this restaurant change my mind! Sushi in US can be very good! Just try them they are really really good!
Best sushi! and great atmosphere! – A great restaurant on Guerrero! The place is cozy and food is by far the best I've tried. Try the stuffed shitake and home-made gyoza, they are awesome!
the chefs are sociable and the service is attentive. A great place for a date or to hang out with friends!
Excellent Food, Ambiance, and Service – My wife and I love this place. The food is excellent, especially the Sushi Rolls. Hot Sake is a must on a cold day. The Seafood over sprouts is also one of my favorites; oh don't forget to try the Sea Bass also!
The chef, Eddy, is very welcoming and is a master of his art. If you are looking for the best Japanese place in town, you have found it!
New, cozy and elegant restaurant in the mission – I've been waiting for this restaurant to open up for 3 months. They finally opened up and its done in cozy elegance, with beaded red lights and gleaming hardwood floors! They have a nice selection of sake and the owner have carefully chosen for quality rather than quantity. The owner is a top notch chef and it shows in his menu and the quality of food. Their hon-maguro, or blue fin tuna was fresh and fatty. Their toro is awesome. Ambient lighting, excellent food and hip music. What more can you ask for? I hope this place keeps it up. I give it 4 stars!

S0222: Tirapazamine Combined With Chemo and RT in Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This phase II trial is studying how well giving tirapazamine together with cisplatin, etoposide, and radiation therapy works in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Tirapazamine may make the tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with tirapazamine may kill more tumor cells.

|Official Title:
|A Phase II Study Of Tirapazamine (NSC-130181)/Cisplatin/Etoposide And Concurrent Thoracic Radiotherapy For Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Weekly during protocol treatment, then every 3 months for first year, then every 6 months for up to 3 years after enrollment. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Overall survival was defined as the time from date of enrollment until the date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive were censored at the date of last conatct. Patients were followed for a maximum of 3 years from the date of enrollment.
- Response Rate (Confirmed and Unconfirmed Complete and Partial Responses Per RECIST) in the Subset of Patients With Measurable Disease at Baseline. [ Time Frame: After completeion of concurrent chemotherapy+radiation (Week 8); then after completion of consolidation chemotherapy (Week15); once off treatment, every 3 months until disease progression for a maximum of 3 years after enrollment. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]A complete response (CR) was defined as a complete disappearance of all disease with no new lesions. A partial response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target measurable lesions with no unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease and no new lesions. Both CR and PR had to be confirmed by a second determination at least 4 weeks apart. All disease had to be assessed using same method as baseline. Only patients with measurable disease at baseline were included in this analysis.
- Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: At end of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (Week 8), then at end of consolidation chemotherapy (Week 15). After off treatment, every 3 months for the first 2 years then every 6 months for up to 3 years after enrollment. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Progression was defined as a >= 20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of measurable lesions over the smallest sum observed or unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease or the appearance of any new lesion/site. Symptomatic deterioration was defined as a global deterioration of health status requiring discontinuation of treatment. Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of progression, symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive and progression-free were censored at last contact date.

IS SWINE FLU Headed Your Way?
- Details
- Written by LaundryTODAY Staff
We're all aware that a new flu virus of swine origin (H1N1) has been surfacing in the United States, and worldwide. This new flu was first detected in April, 2009 and has been spreading via person-to-person contact.
Illness signs and symptoms have consisted of influenza-like illness— fever and respiratory tract illness (cough, sore throat, runny nose), headache, muscle aches—and some cases have had vomiting and diarrhea. Cases of severe respiratory disease, including fatal outcomes, have been reported.
CDC anticipates that there will be more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths associated with this new virus in the coming days and weeks because the population has little to no immunity against it. Novel influenza A (H1N1) activity is now being detected in two of CDC's routine influenza surveillance systems as reported in the May 8, 2009 FluView. FluView is a weekly report that tracks U.S. influenza activity through multiple systems across five categories.
The CDC has released, Interim Guidance for Infection Control for Care of Patients with Confirmed or Suspected Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection in a Healthcare Setting. This document provides interim guidance for healthcare facilities (e.g., hospitals, long-term care and outpatient facilities, and other settings where healthcare is provided). You will find appropriate excerpts below.
Although influenza viruses can persist on porous materials, the transfer of these viruses from sheets, bedding, and clothing is not as efficient a process as that involving non-porous surfaces (1). Therefore, management of laundry in healthcare facilities and in the home can be accomplished with existing procedures appropriate for these settings (2, 3):
- Handle soiled clothing and linens during collection with a minimum amount of agitation and fluffing;
- Healthcare workers and laundry personnel should follow established facility safety procedures (minimum recommendation is for glove use) when handling soiled linens.
- Handwashing or hand hygiene should be done in the home after sorting laundry and adding the clothing and linens to the washer.
- Use detergents, laundry additives, and appropriate water temperature as per routine laundry procedures. Follow manufacturer instructions for detergent and bleach use.
- Use a temperature setting for drying clothes and linens appropriate for the fabrics in the load. Line- or air-drying can be used to dry items when machine drying is not indicated.
- Clean your hands before removing clean laundry from the washer or dryer, especially if you have coughed or sneezed onto your hands.
There is no evidence to suggest that either pandemic influenza virus or seasonal influenza viruses can be spread via contact with either routine solid wastes or regulated medical wastes generated either in a healthcare facility or in a home, school, or business. Therefore, current waste management strategies can continue to be used while influenza viruses are in circulation (2,3):
Healthcare Facilities:
- Use Standard Precautions when working with solid waste that may be contaminated with influenza virus outside of patient isolation areas.
- Use PPE as is currently required by your state (e.g., gloves) when handling open waste containers.
- No changes in waste containment need be made during periods of influenza activity (e.g., single bag lining for routine clinic wastes, appropriate labeled containment for regulated medical wastes).
- Current medical waste treatment procedures can be used to treat regulated medical waste in accordance with state and federal regulations.
- Treated medical waste can be safely deposited in municipal solid waste landfills as per normal procedures.
To prevent the transmission of all respiratory infections in healthcare settings, including novel H1N1, respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette infection control measures should be implemented at the first point of contact with a potentially infected person. They should be incorporated into infection control practices as one component of Standard Precautions.
Healthcare facilities should establish mechanisms to screen patients for signs and symptoms of febrile respiratory illness at any point of entry to the facility. Provisions should be made to allow for prompt isolation and assessment of symptomatic patients.
The current situation with novel H1N1 flu in the United States is evolving quickly. Staff in healthcare settings should monitor the H1N1 Flu website and state and local health department websites for the latest information. Health-care facilities should be reviewing and making plans to implement their facility contingency response and/or pandemic response plans. This should include making plans for managing increasing patient volume and potential staffing limitations.
If the patient is presenting in a community where novel H1N1 transmission is occurring (based upon information provided by state and local health departments), these infection control recommendations should apply to all patients with febrile respiratory illness (defined as fever [greater than 37.8° C] plus one or more of the following: rhinorrhea or nasal congestion; sore throat; cough).
If the patient is presenting in a community without novel H1N1 transmission, these infection control recommendations should apply to those patients with febrile respiratory illness AND:
- close contact with a person who is a confirmed, probable, or suspected case of novel H1N1 virus infection, within the past 7 days
- travel to a community either within the United States or internationally where there are one or more confirmed novel H1N1 cases within 7 days
As the situation evolves, the ability to use epidemiologic links to identify potentially infectious patients may be lost and these recommendations may need to be applied to all patients with febrile respiratory illness. This situation will be monitored, and these guidelines will be updated as needed by the CDC.
The CDC has some important reminders for us to stay safe no matter where we are:
- Keep housekeeping surfaces and countertops clean of visible soil by cleaning with detergents and water or proprietary cleaners, followed by rinsing with water. Repeated application of disinfectants to table and desktop surfaces is unnecessary. Frequent use of room air deodorizers to disinfect the air is not recommended.
- Follow label instructions carefully when using disinfectants and cleaners, noting any hazard advisories and indications for using personal protective items (such as household gloves). Do not mix disinfectants and cleaners unless the labels indicate it is safe to do so. Combining certain products (such as chlorine bleach and ammonia cleaners) can be harmful, resulting in serious injury or death.
- Clean and disinfect bathroom surfaces on a regular basis using EPA-registered detergent/disinfectants. Alternatively, clean surfaces first with detergent and water and then disinfect with an EPA-registered disinfectant in accordance with manufacturer instructions. (Note: Disinfectant products available in grocery stores or hardware stores are all EPA-registered.)
- If EPA-registered disinfectants are not available, use a dilute solution (1:100 volume/volume, approximately 600 parts per million [ppm]) of household chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite) to disinfect bathroom surfaces. To prepare this solution, add 1/4 cup of bleach to a gallon of clean water, or 1 tablespoon of bleach to a quart of clean water. Apply to a cleaned surface, preferably with a cloth moistened with the bleach solution, and allow the surface to remain wet for minimally 3 – 5 minutes (2).
- Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces in the home with a detergent/disinfectant in accordance with label instructions (e.g., microwaves, refrigerator door handles, door handles). Wipe frequently touched electronic items (e.g., remote controls, hand-held gaming devices) with hand-sanitizer cloths.
- Carry hand-sanitizer cloths in cars to use on hands and surfaces in cars.

Quick Rinse - News From Around The World
A Gruesome Laundry Surprise
PHOENIX, Ariz. — A body in a bin was discovered by employees at a Sodexo commercial laundry facility. The body arrived on a delivery truck from medical facilities in Tucson. Team members who were unloading the bins first noticed blood on the sheets then discovered the body in one of the bins. The man, a transient, had previously slept in the laundry-bag area near the Tucson medical facility. It is believed that the man either died from a medical condition or was suffocated by the plastic bags. The body showed no signs of trauma or foul play.

Comes with 4 neck screws. The screws did not strip when I installed the neck...that's always a plus in my book. Also, it's SHINY! :)
Only thing missing is perhaps a plastic shim for a more finished look.
Made with excellent quality material and can be customized with your logo. Exactly like those used in Fender Stratocaster.
When I do a custom build or upgrade on a guitar, I like to put a neck plate on that has what ever my customer wants on it! I bought some of these and had them engraved at my local engravers shop. The chrome ones turned out SWEET! Had my shop name put on them.
What makes these from Stewmac nice is they come with the bolts. Many other places sell just the plate and you end up having to buy the bolts too. Thanks Stewmac for a complete package!
I used this on my steampunk rebuild of an SX bass and it worked great. Holds as secure as the original.

So many drinks and so little time.
For some reason though the variations are endless, each one has its season in my life.
Right now I am in an Americanized Macchiato mode.
A cup seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg along with a little organic sugar 3 shots of espresso and some frothy milk marking the espresso and perhaps more than marking, latte-esque-ness, in a typical North American milk loving fashion.
A strong coffee flavour softened with milk, a hint of sweetness and spice, perfect for one of those, "I need a hug" kind of mornings".
What's in your cups, friends?
Happy Wednesday!!

Early man's attempts at flying included sewing feathers onto his arms or trying to harpoon a passing comet. Learn to fly the new-fashioned way with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $99 for a hot air balloon excursion for one with champagne (up to a $199 value)
- $197 for a hot air balloon excursion for two with champagne (up to a $398 value)
Over approximately 3.5 hours, guests arrive in time to watch—or help—the balloon inflate as the sun rises. Then, pilots propel up to 12 passengers through clear blue skies for up to 60 minutes as they take in the picturesque Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande Valley. Afterward, guests are treated to a commemorative flight certificate, a champagne toast, and light snack, over which the crew discusses the history of hot air balloons.
Though this merchant sometimes offers a discounted price online, this Groupon is still the best deal available.
World Balloon
World Balloon's skilled pilots have been cruising gentle air currents in their colorful balloons for 38 years. From the safety of a basket, they unveil panoramic views of the arcing earth, the sun rising above the Sandia Mountains, and the lush greenery of the Rio Grande Valley. After the balloon alights upon the ground, the staffers keep the experience going. They treat guests to a champagne toast and a light snack, and give them a commemorative certificate. The crew also sets the tone for each celebration with a short lesson on the origins of hot-air ballooning and how to identify which clouds would yield the fluffiest pillow stuffing.

The money to pay for school comes from scholarships, financial aid (which is a loan) and bank loans. The grants and scholarships usually only pay for tuition, you can't use them to buy art supplies, website memberships, food, or anything else (I know, I had some scholarships.) The loans, ditto, only apply to tuition and maybe housing. Not peripherals. Any money you can scrape up on part-time work goes to food and art supplies (and rent, if you can't get housing covered by a loan.)
And the loans will suck away all your money for at least ten years after graduation as you pay them back...
Of course it's different if you're not in America.

Looks like the conversation took an interesting turn.
I wasn't an art student (I applied out of school but wasn't good enough to get in) but I've been through a few college art courses and have my own debts from that. One thing I wasn't was made of money. I had to work extra jobs just to meet the rent and feed myself because any loans I got barely covered materials and travel expenses. So no, money isn't something most art students have to pay for crits from professionals.
And the magic of this site is that there are pros here offering their time and advice for free. I love it for that alone. I've had the best crits of my artistic life from some of those guys and I absolutely appreciate the time and effort they put in. And what's more, they don't expect me to pay them for it. If CA became a pay per crit site, it would just be like every other place like that on the internet - closed to the public and only for people to give their sage advice, for a price. Fuck that for a game of soldiers.
I get that an open forum means lots of crazies join along with the dedicated learners and genuine talent, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to close CA to only those who can afford to pay, or worse, those who can prove they're already at pro level by passing an art test for elite access. I don't know. That all smacks of exclusivity and I don't think that's what this place is about. Doesn't seem that way to me. And I'm with Queen Gwenevere and others re that. I like the open atmosphere here and it's the only art site where I feel comfortable enough hanging out in the lounge areas as well as the creative sections. Not that I visit many other art forums but yeah, I don't visit their chat or discussion areas when I am there.
Anyway, I think I'm rambling now. Others have made excellent suggestions re certain areas of CA that could be improved and that's what I'm in agreement with. I'm pretty much totally against bitching about the owner when he's not here to defend himself or closing the site down to free access for all who want to learn.
P.S. Fern Britton wins hands down on the FoW.
you mentioned you aint been around, so let me give you some insight on how i see things, and where im coming from.
first off, i dont have any opinion about the person jason manley, i never met him. what i do have an opinion on, is actions been put forth in the past, or lack thereof. (no chronological order.)
#1) he (and whom ever been involved), started this workshop thing... and (from what i read and heard) its been totally awesome. that and after, imo was the biggest time of ca... the amsterdam workshop back in 2004. at that time i unfortunately couldnt afford a ticket, but ive been totally psyched about it. then theres been, i think 2 workshops inside the US, which i couldnt afford neither... not anyones fault but my own (id have died to meet dan milligan, jon foster and all the other big guns).
then theres been that talk surfacing about another european workshop going to happen (2006-2007 i think? correct me if im wrong), and i (aswell as alot of other europeans, who just couldnt afford flying over to the us) were all "whatever i have to do... im not gonna miss that opportunity!".
if i remember correctly theres been alot of fuzz and speculation about that, without a set date/beeing postponed for about 1-2 years. i think its been 2008 (again could be wrong, its hard to reconstruct that today with the threads beeing gone) when we were finally told when its going to happen. all's been fine. people bought plane tickets, arranged accommodation and so forth. just to be told its not going to happen on really short notice (without as far as i remeber any reasoning). as far as i remember jmanley personally tried to help those that already bought tickets, but such a short notice certainly left a sour taste.
#2) when i first came here (from cgtalk) and started browsing these forums in 2002 and for some years after, theres been that family like vibe going on... "we all want to grow as artists, recieve and put forth help,...". its been beyond words seriously (yeah i see someone posting that monty python clip, but it misses the point). ron lemen aka fred flickstone amongst others had mentoring threads going on (thats where i learned to do portraits), the painting from life thread in the traditional section literally been on fire (i remember el coro posting his stillife wip there, recieving good crit from ronlemen and drdarrow, pushing himself based on that), andrew jones posting daily portraits and what not.
last man standing? O M G !. so much great art and friendly competition, ment to push yourself and your peers in becoming better artists. one duel has been jon foster vs john mueller if i remember correctly? just awesome.
dan dos santos e.g. been roaming the crit section shortly after its been invented (back when madster been its mod haha fun days). the ca-chat has been full and oc sessions taking place all the time. everything has been about learning, pushing yourself and pushing your peers to do your best.
massiv black been founded and instructional videos created.... maaaaan so awesome. i spent like 1k � on them (almost got all).
yet there something changed... gnomon (who did this video thing long before ca) started to be handled like a curseword on here (puddnhead doing a video for gnomon...) ... the spirit of "just and everything for the sake of art" started to fade in my perception. the flush wore off, and slowly started to transform into some kind of hangover feeling (which in my opinion seems to be at its peek right now). whats been "lets grow together" transformed into "oh we aswell could have earned some money doing that".
#3) apparently different opinions on how to proceed occured, and feelings were hurt. i dont care as i aint been part of it, wether it been the tad thing, the event of the made workshop taking place, or some other minor things. but it thoroughly changed the atmosphere. lot of good people, contributing alot to the site, left, which created a vacuum yet to be filled.
e.g. MADE workshop first been promoted slightly on here, always making sure "its not a massive black thing!"... well el coro (justin kaufmann), wes burton, andrew jones, marko djurdjevic, kemp remilliard, jason chan, carl dobsky, whit brachna, amonst others (sam brown, living rope, aleksi, shawn barber,...) been there. again drama occured, and while im not interested why and whom had his play in it, it changed the atmosphere for the worse.
#4) weve been teased with a site update for YEARS, beeing told we should buy the downloads to make it possible... some of us certainly did (i did for sure), NOTHING happend. and when it finally did... its been when theres finally been a team chow challenge happening... wtf. and as all of you know... it aint been down for days... but weeks. thats not what i expect to be professional. clear indication that what happens on ca is not of primary importance if it comes to ca, in my book.
i probably could go on, but i feel slightly drained now, so bear with me.
nothing of what ive said, is ment to insinuate its jason manleys personal fault... but if you put yourself forth as the mr ca.org... whom else to adress with your crit?
as for the fee-issue... lol... seriously... ca.org has been used as a marketing tool alot... either beeing instructional videos, massive black or TAD,... whereas a multitude of (unmentioned) people contributed voluntarily, to make what (at least was once renowned to be) is/been ca.org. without the initiative of jason manley, we probably wouldnt have ca.org, but it wouldnt have grown into what it is/has been without those others neither.
ps: in reference to the topic title... it certainly is not what it has once been.

I wasn't here at the start, but CA is a huge part of my life. I don't know about other people, but I follow a lot of beginner's SBs and alternately nag & praise them. It's great when you see beginners improve and hope you helped in some small way. So I throw out the challenge to each of you who moan about the site being not what it was - go and adopt a few beginners and help them, and do it quietly, don't try to make them a clone of you, but help them learn (search out that tutorial they need) and let them find their own voice.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
but wether i do or not... im a user of this site, and im pretty serious about defending my right to express my opinion on how its run.

I know you help out a lot in the critique section (I've got a piece up there now) but a lot of new members don't know their way around or where to look for help, just staying in the SB section where it can be pretty anonymous. They're the ones that need help to venture further.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
A pretty wise man once said that one must be the change he wishes to see in the world... I'm not going to lie, there is a lot of sh*t going on here that I am not even going to pretend to act as though I understand, but community is really what you make of it.
Now let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya for f*cksake!
People could still access the site and exchange crits just fine, just like they do now in this model.
Also the standards I was thinking of were not pro only....at the very least it would do to weed out all of the spammers which are extremely irritating.
I think that in general CA was on fire in 2006-2008, everyone was feeling it and excited about it. it can still be that way again it just needs a fresh perspective. Maybe it's the recession.
Two important things must be done, or else...the tutorials and amazing SB's must be preserved, and it needs to honor artists who are actively contributing their professional time and energy to the forum.(like not six years ago - exclusive content forum, ahem)
I don't understand why people start out with "well I wasn't around to find out why people aren't happy with X person but who cares"
While it's certainly not a good idea to go out and outright insult someone, at the same time outright dismissing something that happened through sheer ignorance is just stupid. Shut up.
No really STFU.
CA has its history, its ups and downs. Again this isn't "insult the owner" time but nor is it "y'all people who have a problem are babies"
So if you have ideas to help improve the site, share them if you want something to be better, go ahead
But stop with the other nonsense.
Can you be more precise on who you are telling to shut up, so that we on the sidelines might follow what or who has raised your ire?
give it a rest crazy Mrs Carmody from The Mist. deliberately provoking something so "you on the sidelines" can titter along while everyone attacks eachother is whats known as a dick move.
The worst most divisive thing you said was
You dont need to pay artists for crits, you need to pay a therapist.
Most other people myself included just seem to respond to Queen G when she said "I like CA the way it is. It's the closest equivalent I can find to the stairwell in art school, where you can hang out and shoot the breeze with like-minded people."
Youll need to get used to people disagreeing with you Im afraid because A] loads of people with different views is a critical prerequisite for interesting things to happen, and B] because no on likes your ideas for making the crit forum a closed pay-only place, that would kill the core of what is good about CA dead instantly as it shut down 99.9% of its through traffic. or as Roaul said

I don't really agree with the idea of paid crits. You get the same conflict as content creators with ads.
Would a blogger come out with an article trashing a product from the company that is paying his bills? Will the paying artist with a soft skin appreciate an honest critique, or will they go for the guy that always flatters them?
I believe you'd end up with masters that would be too soft or too brutal all the time, as if catering to different demographics. Mixing business with crits would kind of ruin the spirit of it.
Now, llama icons with funny (and expensive) hats. THAT's what CA needs
(BTW, wasn't there an IRC chat once? what happened with that?)
"Great job guys! I love you. You're fired."
Sketchbook! Me vs Anatomy (and other things)
What I would like to see is the tutorial section overhauled. That place is just so overwhelming its hard to figure out where to go and start, people just put anything and everyhting up there abit like deviantart, and then just label it beginner tutorial when it blatantly isnt. I would like to see tutorials and sections that are promoted more so people can know how and were to start in drawing. you notice for the past few years its just the same threads, where do i start, how do i draw, how do i read a book etc etc. I mean this place is meant to be one of the places where alot of famous artists hang out or used to hang out. All people do mainly now is just post in the SB section, and keep posting stupid shite.
I really would like to see tutorials made by people that setup tad, ca to help the community. I am not talabout $50k schools, or $100 videos. I feel ca and tad alot atm is about just making money, and if anything is said agasint either ca or tad those people are shut down. How about the people that setup tad do someabout setting up a proper beginners tutorial section to encourage people to use this site and its resources other than posting a SB.
And no, I wasn't saying Jason Manley cant defend himself here. Pretty much the opposite. That if people want to call him out on shit then do it when he's around to defend himself or take it to the guy in person. That's not me trying to defend someone I don't know because they own the forum I use, it's just how I think about things in general.
Though, I'm not sure I got your comments about that correct. There might be a translation issue, so if I got you wrong, sorry, and feel free to ignore my above comment.
Re making suggestions. I think I have. Maybe I didn't but thought I did, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure I did...
But since you asked so nicely.
I like the idea of having people's artwork visible on the front page.
I think the student art gallery should be made more of because it's kind of hiding down below somewhere which is a shame. The work in there is stellar.
I think the community activities could definitely be made more of and the winners' work displayed prominently. In a banner on the front page, like others have suggested.
Ferns are cool but not a necessity.
Just some notes. I love the overall atmosphere of the site but one of the things I started noticing are the following and think some of these changes can improve the site.
New people that have very little or new experience to art, talking down to those with experience. I don't mean some political disagreement. I mean art advice. That's just chases away people who took their time to help that actually have some standing. Don't come and complain how it's harsh here, but yet you get a critique and don't even engage the person who took the time. You're part of the problem with the harshness/nastiness. Ask questions about the advice, thank the person! It will only help.
Pros from different ends of the spectrum fighting. It's absolutely ok to disagree with methodology, but it started becoming "where are your credentials" and that also becomes disheartening. I actually hate this issue the most. If you guys have a disagreement about how to go about things, just politely state your disagreement and explain your methods, and stop making it so damn personal. If you guys are pros, and while I love the amount of freedom. It just looks bad on both parties overall. Even if some groups have left there are still pros on this site. No need to go at each other. And if you do, do it old school: Use the Thunderdome and challenge each other artistically.
People who refuse to post art when they ask about an art question that involves his/her progress. I give full go ahead to shut those threads down if people do not want to post their work so people can get an idea of what that person is having a problem with. It's like going to the dentist, complaining your teeth hurt, and not allowing the dentist to see it "because it might be painful". Get over it.
Asking more than participating. It's not that questions are bad. But there are some "chronic" users that continue to ask but not produce a sketchbook or art. At least let people see if their advice is getting somewhere.
You know maybe ive been lucky but even though i love a dust up about absolutely anything else in the Lounge no matter how ill-informed I am (usually very), ive never had a row with anyone about art stuff. Outside the lounge ive found everyone is dead respectful and nice to one another. Art Discussion topics get really indepth and way over my head, (Jeff, Kev, Bill, Chris etc have amazing discussion in there) so i enjoy following along without saying much, like i say tho maybe i got lucky so far.
Sure you get the usual sore response to some crits by some folks, but thats pretty standard and people almost always calm down and later really make big improvements.

There's a student art gallery?
Ok that's a sign that I need to get out of this lounge for a bit, I'm going to browse the crit sections and some random sketchbooks and find this elusive gallery...
p.s I really do believe that this site is just in a lull, we can fill the spaces that the majority of the pros left, you know, when we all become pros ourselves...we can do it! The eye of the tiger and all that...grr!
p.p.s - Well said Arshes.
You know, I was typing up a more thorough response, I'm just going to listen to my own inner ethos, and not get involved in this shit slinging. There's been plenty of suggestions and advice (The dynamically changing front panels. That is standard these days and quite easy to implement). And I thought one of the main virtues of art was to take criticism? I voiced mine about censorship, and objectively tried to be impartial about the drama (As opposed to getting nosy and getting involved in something I know nothing about, because that always makes things better). So I'd advise you on you taking your own.
I'm out.

The student gallery is a TAD student gallery showcase forum and a propaganda tool for manley PLC.
Yup, thats the one I was talking about.
There's an art gallery in there that I only recently discovered because it's so well hidden. Nothing to do with me spending more time than I should in the lounge. Nothing at all.
And dynamic banners for winners of challenges would indeed be awesome. I know it's been mentioned, I'm just reinstating how absolutely friggin cool that would be. COW was what originally made me sign up and actually do my first "painting", although at the time I was so shitty my creature didn't even get accepted. If it hadn't been for something as simple as COW, my life would look completely different right now.
..I'd probably have a masters degree in economy..
..And be making a decent living..
..Own a house..
....Have a girlfriend....
Damn you CA!
Yep. CHOW was what did it for me... Totally knocked me out of my comfort zone at the time and kick-started a massive self-improvement effort.
I seriously need to free up some time to do more challenges, I've learned something on every single challenge I've done here.
True, truep.s I really do believe that this site is just in a lull, we can fill the spaces that the majority of the pros left, you know, when we all become pros ourselves...we can do it! The eye of the tiger and all that...grr!
Well VK, if you can best me in an ART duel p'raps I will take you off my ignore list, these histrionics of yours won't do that. My interest in Arshe's frustration was sincere, albeit a bit confused, since I couldn't find the line of conversation she was referring to, and I had read the thread through twice. Unhappy forum managers generally make for an unhealthy forum so it's important to figure out this part of what she is saying.
No, absolutely not. We have stringent standards beyond which "people we don't like" (an absurdly juvenile label) cannot pass at all. There is absolutely no contact between them and management other than a polite form letter which consists of two sentences. These same people are welcomed in years later, after applying themselves in a determined fashion. This is not what I envisioned for CA, but a much looser mechanism which would at the very least strip spammers out 100%.you freely admit you systematically bully people you dont like into leaving
People who don't behave as they would in a school, library or business office are generally not welcome.
People disagree with me all of the time, it can't be helped anywhere in life, and I gladly accept it. I am not all mad about ideas being shot down as you would like to frame me, this is all part of a brainstorming process and quite accepted in business. As for your use of telling me to see a therapist as some sort of "weapon of shame" stigma, and comparing me with some homicidal religious nut from a movie, this is merely the weak argument from intimidation - it does nothing to make me want to see a therapist - nor would it make anyone want to. It just proves you are a mere man, and not a gentleman at all. I am very happy with my life, despite it revolving around you of course.
Ugh, the lounge, a guilty pleasure I could do without more than wine and cheesy french dip sandwiches.There's an art gallery in there that I only recently discovered because it's so well hidden. Nothing to do with me spending more time than I should in the lounge. Nothing at all.

Also you were wrong about the silly religious nut character, this week I'm roleplaying as Emily Post. That would be obvious to anyone who has read her books.
Izi - When was the last time you saw a spammer? Since the hack was sorted a lot more was done. I haven't deleted a thread in 2 days for spam and only saw the odd one every now and then since we've been back. Profile spam if different. Just because things haven't changed here visibly, it doesn't mean things haven't.

Hi, Right now my iPhone is stuck in restore mode showing the iTunes symbol and lead. Earlier today I was unlocked 1.0.2 but I wanted to ungrade and unlock it became a bit too hard and i tried to go back to 1.0.2 However now when I do that I get an error telling me that it could not be restored, I've tried 1.0.2, 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and the normal restore (1.1.3) 1.1.3 is the only one that works however when it is complete this happens:
When I try to do *#307# it dosn't work either to enter prefs: just goes right back to this bugged screen.
